Directions

In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the bay leaves, crushed red pepper flakes, and onions. Saute the mixture for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chorizo, stock, and kale and bring the liquid up to a boil. Stir in the Creole Seasoning and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the potatoes and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and skim off any fat. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint. Serve with crusty bread.
